Need help troubleshooting this issue! This is what's occurring:

I can start the computer, see BIOS etc.
I can see the windows xp logo with the loading bars running across the screen...
BUT...... it never does display the login screen, just blank.
The monitor continues to stay on but there's no display and I CAN blindly login to the desktop.
I have a brand new video card, the motherboard is old and has no integrated one.
I tried the monitor on another computer and it works fine so I know that's not the problem.

Any ideas on how to fix this, OS, software, hardware???

P.S.
I did try getting into safe mode and VGA mode but with no luck...
Re-installing windows is my last option and hope I don't have to.
